/**
 * A list of {@link ChannelHandler}s which handles or intercepts inbound events and outbound operations of a
 * {@link Channel}.  {@link ChannelPipeline} implements an advanced form of the
 * Intercepting Filter pattern
 * to give a user full control over how an event is handled and how the {@link ChannelHandler}s in a pipeline
 * interact with each other.
 *
 * 

Creation of a pipeline

* * Each channel has its own pipeline and it is created automatically when a new channel is created. * *

How an event flows in a pipeline

* * The following diagram describes how I/O events are processed by {@link ChannelHandler}s in a {@link ChannelPipeline} * typically. An I/O event is handled by either a {@link ChannelInboundHandler} or a {@link ChannelOutboundHandler} * and be forwarded to its closest handler by calling the event propagation methods defined in * {@link ChannelHandlerContext}, such as {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRead(Object)} and * {@link ChannelHandlerContext#write(Object)}. * *
 *                                                 I/O Request
 *                                            via {@link Channel} or
 *                                        {@link ChannelHandlerContext}

 * 
* An inbound event is handled by the inbound handlers in the bottom-up direction as shown on the left side of the * diagram. An inbound handler usually handles the inbound data generated by the I/O thread on the bottom of the * diagram. The inbound data is often read from a remote peer via the actual input operation such as * {@link SocketChannel#read(ByteBuffer)}. If an inbound event goes beyond the top inbound handler, it is discarded * silently, or logged if it needs your attention. *

* An outbound event is handled by the outbound handler in the top-down direction as shown on the right side of the * diagram. An outbound handler usually generates or transforms the outbound traffic such as write requests. * If an outbound event goes beyond the bottom outbound handler, it is handled by an I/O thread associated with the * {@link Channel}. The I/O thread often performs the actual output operation such as * {@link SocketChannel#write(ByteBuffer)}. *

* For example, let us assume that we created the following pipeline: *

 * {@link ChannelPipeline} p = ...;
 * p.addLast("1", new InboundHandlerA());
 * p.addLast("2", new InboundHandlerB());
 * p.addLast("3", new OutboundHandlerA());
 * p.addLast("4", new OutboundHandlerB());
 * p.addLast("5", new InboundOutboundHandlerX());
 * 
* In the example above, the class whose name starts with {@code Inbound} means it is an inbound handler. * The class whose name starts with {@code Outbound} means it is a outbound handler. *

* In the given example configuration, the handler evaluation order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 when an event goes inbound. * When an event goes outbound, the order is 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. On top of this principle, {@link ChannelPipeline} skips * the evaluation of certain handlers to shorten the stack depth: *

    *
  • 3 and 4 don't implement {@link ChannelInboundHandler}, and therefore the actual evaluation order of an inbound * event will be: 1, 2, and 5.
  • *
  • 1 and 2 don't implement {@link ChannelOutboundHandler}, and therefore the actual evaluation order of a * outbound event will be: 5, 4, and 3.
  • *
  • If 5 implements both {@link ChannelInboundHandler} and {@link ChannelOutboundHandler}, the evaluation order of * an inbound and a outbound event could be 125 and 543 respectively.
  • *
* *

Forwarding an event to the next handler

* * As you might noticed in the diagram shows, a handler has to invoke the event propagation methods in * {@link ChannelHandlerContext} to forward an event to its next handler. Those methods include: *
    *
  • Inbound event propagation methods: *
      *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRegistered()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelActive()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelRead(Object)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelReadComplete()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireExceptionCaught(Throwable)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireUserEventTriggered(Object)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelWritabilityChanged()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelInactive()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#fireChannelUnregistered()}
    • *
    *
  • *
  • Outbound event propagation methods: *
      *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#bind(SocketAddress, ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#connect(SocketAddress, SocketAddress, ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#write(Object, ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#flush()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#read()}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#disconnect(ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#close(ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    • {@link ChannelHandlerContext#deregister(ChannelPromise)}
    • *
    *
  • *
* * and the following example shows how the event propagation is usually done: * *
 * public class MyInboundHandler extends {@link ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter} {
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     public void channelActive({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx) {
 *         System.out.println("Connected!");
 *         ctx.fireChannelActive();
 *     }
 * }
 *
 * public clas MyOutboundHandler extends {@link ChannelOutboundHandlerAdapter} {
 *     {@code @Override}
 *     public void close({@link ChannelHandlerContext} ctx, {@link ChannelPromise} promise) {
 *         System.out.println("Closing ..");
 *         ctx.close(promise);
 *     }
 * }
 * 
* *

Building a pipeline

*

* A user is supposed to have one or more {@link ChannelHandler}s in a pipeline to receive I/O events (e.g. read) and * to request I/O operations (e.g. write and close). For example, a typical server will have the following handlers * in each channel's pipeline, but your mileage may vary depending on the complexity and characteristics of the * protocol and business logic: * *

    *
  1. Protocol Decoder - translates binary data (e.g. {@link ByteBuf}) into a Java object.
  2. *
  3. Protocol Encoder - translates a Java object into binary data.
  4. *
  5. Business Logic Handler - performs the actual business logic (e.g. database access).
  6. *
* * and it could be represented as shown in the following example: * *
 * static final {@link EventExecutorGroup} group = new {@link DefaultEventExecutorGroup}(16);
 * ...
 *
 * {@link ChannelPipeline} pipeline = ch.pipeline();
 *
 * pipeline.addLast("decoder", new MyProtocolDecoder());
 * pipeline.addLast("encoder", new MyProtocolEncoder());
 *
 * // Tell the pipeline to run MyBusinessLogicHandler's event handler methods
 * // in a different thread than an I/O thread so that the I/O thread is not blocked by
 * // a time-consuming task.
 * // If your business logic is fully asynchronous or finished very quickly, you don't
 * // need to specify a group.
 * pipeline.addLast(group, "handler", new MyBusinessLogicHandler());
 * 
* *

Thread safety

*

* A {@link ChannelHandler} can be added or removed at any time because a {@link ChannelPipeline} is thread safe. * For example, you can insert an encryption handler when sensitive information is about to be exchanged, and remove it * after the exchange. */ public interface ChannelPipeline extends Iterable> { /** * Inserts a {@link ChannelHandler} at the first position of this pipeline. * * @param name the name of the handler to insert first * @param handler the handler to insert first * * @throws IllegalArgumentException * if there's an entry with the same name already in the pipeline * @throws NullPointerException * if the specified name or handler is {@code null} */ ChannelPipeline addFirst(String name, ChannelHandler handler);
